Today, emotional intelligence is often attributed to a person’s high emotional awareness. But at its core, emotional intelligence is a mental power that encompasses three main skills:
Awareness of Emotions: The ability to understand both one’s own emotions and the emotions of others.
Blending Emotions: Using the power of emotions to accomplish what needs to be done in daily life.
Managing Emotions: Self-care and encouraging, calming, cheering, etc. the emotions of others. includes the ability to help manage through simple actions such as
Emotional intelligence affects our lives far beyond emotional awareness. It has a particularly important role in communication.
“If you can’t use your emotional abilities, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you can’t manage uncomfortable emotions, if you can’t empathize and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you’re not going to get very far.” – Daniel Goleman, Ph.D.
In order to increase your personal success by improving your emotional intelligence, it is useful to take a look at the characteristics of people with high emotional intelligence who are examples for all of us:
1) They are Self-Aware
The most important characteristic of people with high emotional intelligence is that they have self-awareness. Because they know themselves, they recognize and solve problems much more quickly. In this way, they solve existing problems before they grow and reach a point where they cannot be intervened. This is something that could change all of our lives in a big way.
2) They are aware of the feelings of others
Emotionally intelligent people are also aware of the feelings of the people they are with. There are obviously many benefits to having insight into the feelings of others. Recognizing that the team member you are working with is in a bad emotional state can motivate them and allow you to pick up where you left off in a short time, helping you to resolve the situation before it becomes a problem.
3) They are Great Listeners
The basis of effective communication is listening. People with emotional intelligence do this very well. In this way, their communication is very healthy. In this way, they always manage to have effective relationships. Today, the number of people who are aware of the importance of listening has decreased considerably. The majority wants to be listened to more than they want to listen. This leads to weak and failed relationships.
4) They are sensitive to their surroundings
Apart from being aware of the feelings of others, they have the ability to capture the moods and energy levels of the groups they are in with environmental awareness. This is one of a number of qualities that make emotionally intelligent people great leaders. They can harness the energy of their team and direct it in the right direction, as well as provide encouragement and motivation when the mood is low.
5) Highly Developed Empathy Skills
Empathy is the ability to communicate effectively with others and to understand the other person’s feelings, to put oneself in their shoes. By empathizing, you will not only help the other person, but you will continue your life as a much happier and successful person. Remember that everyone has emotional intelligence. It is up to you to improve it…
6) They Can Handle Pressure
These self-aware people know how much time to take for themselves when necessary and create the time they need to listen to themselves. This makes it easier for them to minimize stress and focus on what they need to do, even when under pressure. In today’s increasingly stressful and high-pressure world, self-care and mindfulness are more important than ever. Emotionally intelligent people are ready and equipped to handle this pressure in a healthy and productive way.
